Outraged Russians bash breastfeeding 'drunk' and her grandma

Russian authorities have fined an intoxicated mother-of-three and told her she risks losing her children if she doesn't change her ways after outraged passers-by attacked her while she breastfed her youngest in public.

The footage shows three women – reportedly a mother and daughter – approach the young mother, who lays sprawled on a picnic rug by the lake with a baby suckling at her breast.

During the ugly scene, which unfolded at Lake Gusinoye, near Buryatia in the country's south, the woman's mother, who also appeared to be drunk, was targeted by the attackers.

The aggressors, noting the empty bottles strewn around in the grass, snatch the baby from the woman and proceed to give her a beating, turning on the older woman when she protests.

Russian police said that they inspected the woman's house and judged the children to be safe, dry and well fed, but issued a fine and warned her to clean up her act if she wanted the children to stay in her car.
